The US Department of Homeland Security is seeking custody of a Bangladeshi national, Shahidul Islam, who is charged with murdering his sister-in-law in Florida after previously being deported under the Trump administration and later released back into the country under the Biden administration. Florida prosecutors are pursuing the death penalty against Islam, and DHS has now placed an ICE detainer on him, asking state authorities to hand him over once the criminal case concludes. The case has drawn scrutiny over immigration enforcement decisions across two administrations and how a previously deported individual came to be in the country and allegedly commit a violent crime.

Prosecutors in Lake County, Florida, allege that DNA evidence, a bullet and internet search history link Islam to the fatal shooting of Monica Islam, his sister-in-law. Fox News reports this is an exclusive, first-on-Fox account of DHS's custody request, though full details of when Islam was deported, how he was subsequently released, and the exact timeline of the alleged killing were not fully specified in the available report.
